About South Africa

It lies in the continent of Africa’s southern tip and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and by the Indian Ocean on the south and east. South Africa’s neighbors are Zimbabwe and Botswana in the North, Mozambique and Swaziland in the northeast and Namibia in the northwest. The beautiful country is divided into nine provinces and 367 magisterial districts. Provincial Departments, National Departments, as well as the Local Government at the district level represent the government.

South Africa is the economic powerhouse of the region and one of the most successful and stable countries in Africa. Cape Town, in particular, is a microcosm of the Rainbow Nation: Besides the obvious splendor of its natural beauty – spectacular mountains, both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, long, sandy beaches, bright blue skies, extensive wine farms, to list but a few – Cape Town offers a unique melting pot of cultures, people and backgrounds. It is African, with obvious European influences, and is becoming more cosmopolitan on an almost daily basis as this cultural diversity and unique integration increases. Sport plays a major role in the life and culture of the majority of South Africans. It hosted both Rugby and Cricket World Cup tournaments, and most significantly FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup.
